The Sponsored ads in your Gmail do not take up space but promotional emails and suspected spam do until you've deleted them and emptied the Trash (or they permanently delete on their own after 30 days in trash - I'm assuming it's called Trash, in Gmail set to UK English it's called Bin)

It might be the benefit of UK and formerly EU laws making companies act responsible and my Gmail account having been set up there.

Sorry for the delay in replying. For me, normally in the UK, nearly every email in my Promotions section in Gmail has a simple Unsubscribe button or link next to the subject/address at the to of the email and they almost always work when I click them. It could be that this doesn't work in the USA

My experience might be different being from the UK where consumer protection laws are strong and perhaps companies are more strongly required to respect unsubscribe requests than the USA.

I think that's a Gmail issue not a Pixel issue. I just get a couple of clearly marked sponsored ads at the top of my certain email pages and have unsubscribed from most promotional emails I don't want easily with Gmail's unsubscribe link. My Primary inbox is pretty clean and spam is well filtered.
